Hot Color Trends for Spring/Summer 2012

There are many hot color trends for spring/summer 2012. Most of the makeup looks are natural, and soft.
 
Face: Sheer foundation, tinted moisturizers. If you need more coverage, but don't want to feel the weight of you makeup, you can try You Name Brand matte foundation. (I wear it year round). They also make tinted moisturizer, and a full line of cosmetics.
 
Eyes: shimmered shadows, soft pastels, bronzed, or metallic shadows, and even the smokey eye. This year, for a smokey eye, some are using navy shadow.
 
Eyeliner: Pastel shades of green, lilac, silver, pale blue. As an alternative, I like using Prestige shadow duo, Two to Tango. (For shadow, and liner). As I mentioned in a previous post, it's a combination of shimmer plum, and shimmer silver. I use just a touch of the silver mixed with my Maybelline Chick Naturals (Vanilla) on the inner corner of the eye (the part of the eye near the nose, and extend slightly, and then blend it with a sponge. I use black liner, and smudge it, then set it with shadows. (plum, black, navy).
 
Mascara is used very sparingly.
 
Brows: soft, defined.
 
Cheeks: Bronzy, rosy, flushed. I still mix Prestige Bronzer (Sunkissed) with Your Name Brand's mineral blush (Garden). It gives the face a healthy look.
 
Lips: Glosses in neutral shades such as pink, or peach, pinkish gold.
 
Nails: Nudes, creams, beige, sheer gold, white, pale pink, gray, classic reds, chic corals, pastels, metallic designs.
